- The U.S. Multi-State Operator Green Thumb Industries ( OTCQX:GTBIF ) announced Wednesday a lease agreement with the convenience store operator Circle K to expand its medical cannabis business in Florida.
- The exclusive partnership permits GTBIF to lease space from Circle K in the Sunshine State, where the retailer operates about 600 stores.
- Accordingly, from 2023, the company plans to open approximately 10 “RISE Express” dispensaries next to various Circle K locations in Florida.
- “The opening of RISE Express stores at Circle K locations is a game-changer. Convenience is a strong channel in retail, and people want more access to cannabis,” the founder and chief executive of Green Thumb ( OTCQX:GTBIF ) Ben Kovler remarked.
